Gold-Plated Games

Did you think I would skip the Weeklong Deals just because I happen to be posting spooky reviews every day? I love these motley discounts too much to ever ignore them, so don’t you worry yourself about that. There’s plenty to talk about this week, too, from King’s Bounty to The Dream Machine to Zombie Driver. I also see three spooky games that are on my schedule for the month, so I’m going to kick them up to this week so you can pick them up if they sound fun to you. Spoiler alert, they probably won’t, but at least they’ll be twice as topical!

Hektor (review) – There’s a hallway where you listen to a woman get raped forever
